President Biden will champion a new Microsoft artificial-intelligence investment in Wisconsin on Wednesday — showcasing the failed economic commitments of his political rival Donald Trump, whose promises for a job-rich Foxconn plant in the battleground state never materialized.
The president will appear in Racine, Wis., at the site of the ill-fated Foxconn manufacturing campus, to announce Microsoft’s $3.3 billion investment in an AI data center, according to the White House. The investment is expected to create 2,000 permanent jobs and 2,300 temporary union construction jobs, and Microsoft will also invest in workforce training programs in the state.
